The sun hasn’t set in Bloomington
And there’s no one on the streets but us
It’s only 6 o’clock in Bloomington
And all of the shops are closed
Jacob keeps saying he hates Bloomington
I wanna ask him why
Does he have history?
Does it feel familiar here?
Because to me the city’s screaming “escape”
Why does it feel so haunted in this town?
Is it the wind from Normal blowing this way?
Or is it because you are here
And I know we can’t be together?
I’m not gonna ruminate on this today
Why does it feel so haunted in this town?
Is it the wind from Normal blowing this way?
Or is there history?
Because it feels familiar here
And oh my god, I just wanna escape
